Look, parenting is difficult, and no matter how generally good a person you are, you’re gonna screw it up to some degree.

This story is bound to please a whole lot of folks.

At a public building a small child was hammering the disabled door opener button with their hand, quickly and repeatedly – not for the purpose of opening the door.

Sounds like a quick way to break something that a lot of people rely on.

I said “that’s not a toy” as I walked by.

The father got up in my face and said twice, “calm down”.

I was calm.

“I’m calmer than you are, dude. I’m calmer than you are.”

He said “don’t tell that to my kids”.

I said I was telling you.

The reception told him to back off, he said “mind your own business” to me and walked away.

“YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME?!”

Remember, you’re not doing your kids any favors by ignoring their behavior.

Parenting isn’t for the weak!
